Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Nice pics, wawarriors and Demeter! You guys were perfectly set up under that band, and looks like it's still going on. ETA: Those blobs/bands farther north over Martinsburg and Westminster seem to be just sitting there, and the stuff over Martinsburg seems to be blowing up more.

To me, surprise snow is some of the best. I called out for the night. No way I'm going to drive to Richmond and miss this overnight, snow is serious business.

You ended up in a lucky spot with that one band that just keeps on going! I wouldn't miss it either, if I were you, by driving back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Back to moderate snow. Got 1.5" new since this blob parked itself here at 530 or so. Sweet! I haven't checked since 8, but was still snowing nicely then here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighStakes Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Back to moderate snow. Got 1.5" new since this blob parked itself here at 530 or so. At least that much here since the same time.

WVclimo Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Nice little winter event. HGR reported snow in their obs for 16 straight hours. Pretty much the same story here with only a few heavier showers. Melted 0.28" liquid a bit ago from today. Added close to 2" onto the snow pack. 1.4" on the board. About 1/2" on the street, most of it since just before sunset. High was 34 this morning. 29 now with flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wawarriors4 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Can someone with a little more knowledge than myself, educate me on what exactly occurred over Spotsylvania County, VA tonight near EZF. Was it convergence, inverted trough, something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 One of the few times in my life I'll say I'm satisfied with an inch. Looks as though snow has come to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Glad you enjoyed. 4 minutes to respond? Coming up a little short, RR??

Jebman Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Enjoyed a thoroughly refreshing jebwalk tonight. Nice pleasant northwesterly breeze. Was hoping for a flurry, but no dice. We might get something around 2am tho, I will stay up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demeter Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Light snow here once again. Thought it was over but the entire area is blossoming on radar. Cool to watch. To wawarriors point, I too, would like for someone to explain the dynamics of the cause of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hope the reporter from Maugansville up the road from me reports final total on PNS. I'm at work and can't measure. Was still snowing and accumulating when I left this evening. Have to be pushing 4-4.5" up here. Been snowing all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Cool! So we can in the future get NAM'd in 3d with stereo surround sound, right in the privacy of your own home! I'll wait for the Jebman Wii shovel game to get a good workout too. LMFAO! I'll see if I can find a developer, lol. Game would start by showing h500 maps, then show about 5 minutes of intense nuclear snow globbin' goodness, then you'd be standing in 30 inches of fresh powder and you'd start digging snow.

Thank you for posting! They made it sound more simple than I assumed. Luckily, I've been a weather weenie long enough to know the acronyms....just not skilled enough to understand the full dynamics sometimes.

Jebman Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Flurries are reaching the ground in Dale City! Its not too warm for this to accumulate, either. It is 29 degrees with a dewpoint of 18. 2am: Snow is picking up some. Top of car is whitening up. At the risk of jumping the gun here, I think it just might be a good idea for the NWS to issue an advisory for up to an inch of snow. I'd imagine this might make for an interesting rush hour later this morning. Central and Northern MD: Snow is developing over you as well and it is on the increase http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=lwx&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no 213am: Dews are coming up, we are 29/23, column is moistening up. Steady light snow. N wind is gusting at times. 226am: Top of the fence is white. Top of the car is white. The road is caving. My driveway is turning white. Light snow continues. Temp is 29, DP is 25.
